Once again, Drake claims the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100, though this time around, he’s done so with a new track that was only released a little over a week ago instead of his recent champion "God's Plan," which started at the peak and lived there for 11 consecutive turns. Now that the powerful hip-hop talent can claim more than one No. 1 debut on the Hot 100, he has joined a group of only four musicians who have seen at least a pair of track launch at the top, which is something even many of the most important, most successful artists of the day can't manage.

Mariah Carey currently leads the charge and remains the only musician who has debuted three different songs at No. 1 on the all-encompassing singles tally. Her track “Fantasy” was just the second to debut at the top of the Hot 100 (less than one month after Michael Jackson’s “You Are Not Alone,” which was the first to do so) and the first by a woman. Just a few months later, she and Boyz II Men started their collaborative tune “One Sweet Day” at the pinnacle, and that cut would go on to rule for 16 consecutive weeks, which still remains the longest stretch at the top of the Hot 100 to this day. Carey’s third and final (at least so far) No. 1 debut came two years later when her single “Honey” opened as high as a piece of music can climb.

Britney Spears was the second musician to collect more than one No. 1 debut, as her singles “3” (2009) and “Hold It Against Me” (2011) both kicked off at the top of the Hot 100 less than two years apart from one another.

Aside from Drake, Justin Bieber is the most recent artist to join this exclusive group of artists with more than one No. 1 debut, as his own single “What Do You Mean?” landed there in its first charting frame in 2015, and last year, a song he was featured on, DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One,” also kicked off at No. 1.

Drake does stand out as the only musician in history to replace himself with a No. 1 debut when the first track was also a No. 1 debut. That may sound a bit confusing, but the feat speaks to his incredible popularity and his ability to launch a smash hit out of seemingly nowhere with little to no promotion. Only a few artists have done what Drake did this week in some senses, though in many other ways, the hip-hop powerhouse has no peers.
